Chapter 17: Divine Bridge and the Golden Bitter Sea

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, the time since joining Lingxu Dongtian had approached three months.

Jiang Xuan's cultivation proceeded in an orderly fashion; in the Mingquan Realm he had already gone very far, nearly walking this stretch of road to its peak.

Sensing the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror's collection refresh, Jiang Xuan collected without the slightest hesitation; the treasure mirror's hazy radiance flashed once and vanished, and he quickly collected a treasure.

The treasure was the size of a chicken egg, emitting a yellow-green glow; placed in the palm it even felt faintly hot to the touch.

Evil Emperor Sarira! This is the treasure's name.

In a certain high-martial world, a certain shadow assassin was just about to absorb the sarira's power when suddenly the sarira actually disappeared into thin air.

"Breakthrough to the Divine Bridge is today!"

Jiang Xuan swallowed the Evil Emperor Sarira in one gulp without hesitation; the sarira full of essence entered the Eight Trigrams Furnace in his stomach and brought him not a shred of pain; flames rose in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, the sarira was gradually refined and shrank, from the size of a chicken egg to the size of a glass bead, and finally completely transformed into Life Essence Qi.

Circulating the Daoyi Xuanfa, the abundant Life Essence Qi rushed downward toward the Bitter Sea along the routes controlled by the Xuanfa, while some Life Essence Qi dispersed into the four limbs and hundred bones, washing and strengthening Jiang Xuan's flesh, bones, and five viscera and six bowels.

The Life Essence Qi from top to bottom hung like an inverted Milky Way; the Bitter Sea was continuously developed, the divine spring trickled, and suddenly endless Life Essence Qi surged out from the Bitter Sea and merged with the Life Essence Qi transformed from the sarira; the two streams of Life Essence Qi condensed and suspended above the Bitter Sea, forming a bridge frame extending toward the end of the Bitter Sea.

Divine Bridge Realm, achieved!

During these days leading the young disciples for training, he would occasionally discover some relatively precious spirit grasses and spirit medicines; Jiang Xuan would also pick them and directly put them in his mouth to be refined by the Eight Trigrams Furnace; this is also the reason his cultivation level rose rapidly; instead, the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror's treasure-collection ability did not collect anything.

The training trip came to a close; Jiang Xuan received fifty bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid; this was his reward; sacrificing his own cultivation time to lead disciples for training, the Dongtian naturally would give a reward.

This day, Jiang Xuan finished today's cultivation and went to Ye Fan and Pang Bo.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo were cultivating; Pang Bo had already opened the Bitter Sea, formally becoming a Bitter Sea Realm cultivator; among these classmates, he was the first to open the Bitter Sea besides Jiang Xuan.

Opening the Bitter Sea in a little over two months; this cultivation speed, placed in Lingxu Dongtian, was second only to Jiang Xuan and Wei Wei; therefore, Lingxu Dongtian increased the cultivation effort on Pang Bo, classifying him as an Immortal Seedling.

As for the classmates and other disciples who joined Lingxu Dongtian at the same time, at this time they were still comprehending the Daoyi; Pang Bo's ability to open the Bitter Sea so rapidly was inseparable from the reason that he frequently consulted Jiang Xuan and Ye Fan.

As for Ye Fan, although his Bitter Sea was not as unyielding as divine iron as before, the opening speed was still incomparably slow; Pang Bo also gave a portion of his own resources to Ye Fan, but he still could not sense his own Life Wheel.

Ye Fan's personality itself was relatively detached, but seeing that one of his two brothers had already opened the Bitter Sea, and the other had even advanced to the Mingquan Realm, becoming an existence who could serve as a Lecture Cliff teacher, even if Ye Fan was detached again he felt some anxiety.

"The Great Accomplishment Holy Body is invincible under heaven; the Holy Body's strength must have a certain reason; when first opening the Bitter Sea it is a hundred times more difficult than ordinary people; perhaps precisely because of this, after opening successfully the Holy Body divine power cultivated is even more powerful than others."

Jiang Xuan arrived at this moment, saw Ye Fan still cultivating, and encouraged him.

He believed Ye Fan was not the kind of degenerate person.

"Yeah, Ye Zi, maybe slowly grinding with water will be able to open it."

Pang Bo also comforted from the side.

"I know, you two rest assured, I am not someone who gives up halfway." Ye Fan smiled.

"Great effort produces miracles; Ye Fan, your Ancient Desolate Holy Body looks like it needs more resources."

Jiang Xuan waved a single hand, and fifty bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid were neatly arranged on the table.

For these resources given out, Jiang Xuan did not feel the least bit pained; spirit medicines of the Hundred Herb Liquid grade only help cultivators a little in the early stage of cultivation; helping Ye Fan at this time, in the future he can obtain countless times the return; moreover the two of them already have a very good relationship.

Another point is that after the stomach was refined into the Eight Trigrams Furnace, the demand for cultivation resources was no longer limited to spirit pills and miraculous medicines; magic treasure essence, heavenly materials and earthly treasures can all serve as resources to raise cultivation level, and the effect is even better than spirit pills and miraculous medicines.

He had embarked on a "treasure-eating path".

Fifty bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid neatly arranged, truly too shocking.

Newly entered disciples can only receive one bottle of Hundred Herb Liquid in three months; there are fifty bottles before the eyes, truly.

Ye Fan had many words of thanks he wanted to say, but just as they reached his lips he did not know what to say, as if any words would be superfluous.

"Jiang Xuan, thank you!"

Tilting his head back, he drank bottle after bottle of Hundred Herb Liquid; instantly he felt endless Life Essence Qi go straight to the four limbs and hundred bones; Ye Fan's Qi and blood slowly rose.

All fifty bottles of Hundred Herb Liquid were completely drunk; this was an extremely astonishing scene.

An ordinary disciple drinking this much Hundred Herb Liquid at once would only have one result: the body cannot withstand such enormous energy and would explode and die.

In the space of a breath, vast Life Essence Qi overflowed from mouth and nose; Ye Fan did not dare to be negligent, hurriedly circulated the sensing method recorded in the Daoyi, seizing this opportunity to sense the Life Wheel.

Time slowly passed; the Life Wheel at Ye Fan's Bitter Sea violently fluctuated; the golden Bitter Sea flashed with lightning and thundered; divine light in ten thousand rays, as if opening heaven and earth, rendering the entire thatched cottage like a peerless treasure.

This was an extremely astonishing scene; the Holy Body Bitter Sea phenomenon actually manifested in the outside world.

It seems to be the unique mystery of the Holy Body, or perhaps all special constitutions are like this.

"Why can we see Ye Zi's Bitter Sea phenomenon."

Pang Bo was very doubtful and shocked; according to what Elder Wu Qingfeng said, everyone's initially opened Bitter Sea is dead silent, but why is Ye Zi's Bitter Sea like this, sound like rolling thunder, divine light in ten thousand rays, as if opening heaven and earth.

"Special constitution, truly heaven-favored."

Jiang Xuan gazed at Ye Fan; heaven truly favors some people; at birth it prepares treasures for these people; as the years increase, these people only need to dig slightly and can benefit for life.

And most people, born ordinary, wanting to reach the same achievement, must pay ten times a hundred times the effort; but there are many things that are not achievable just by effort.

There is no lack of stunningly talented people who with grass-and-mustard bodies go all the way transcending the dust, looking down on heaven and earth; but how many people in the world have such world-shaking talent?

Since ancient times there have been special constitution Dao-proving Great Emperors who turned into Mortal Bodies, cultivated with Mortal Bodies; but the premise is they had already reached the peak of the human Dao.

In Jiang Xuan's view, comparing Mortal Body and Holy Body bodies is a comparison of everything loose and everything connected; and a Great Emperor turning into a Mortal Body, this so-called Mortal Body is everything connected, making up for the shortcomings of the previous special constitution.

"Ye Fan, congratulations!"

Seeing Ye Fan finish cultivation, Jiang Xuan spoke congratulations.

"Not failing the mission." For Jiang Xuan's help, Ye Fan saying thanks again would appear too distant.

"Haha, Ye Zi, the three of us have all become cultivators." Pang Bo was very excited.

In this batch of classmates, the three of them are the only three who became cultivators; Jiang Ge even became a great cultivator of the Mingquan Realm, and even entered Lingxu Dongtian's management; they are also a small group; Pang Bo is very expectant about the future cultivation life in Lingxu Dongtian.

"You mean that alchemy Elder Han, the one who looks very aged?"

"Right, it's him; this period of time, Ye Zi and I occasionally went out and saw several times him staring at Ye Zi; that gaze was very not right; how to put it, it seemed very fervent, greedy?"

After the brief excitement, Pang Bo spoke of the recent matter of encountering Elder Han when going to the Lecture Cliff to listen to the Dao.

"Ye Fan, you may have been targeted by someone, but it's not a very big matter."

Jiang Xuan laughed.

"Targeted? What does that mean?" Ye Fan was doubtful.

"As far as I know, that Elder Han has little lifespan left, and it just so happens that the Ancient Desolate Holy Body possesses incomparably vigorous Qi and blood; using its holy blood for alchemy even has the effect of extending lifespan."

"Think carefully — does the way that Elder Han looks at you not resemble the gaze of someone looking at Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, filled with longing?"

Ye Fan instantly felt his hair stand on end.

No matter who it is, being treated as prey and constantly watched, liable to be eaten at any careless moment, it is impossible to maintain a calm state of mind.

"What to do, Jiang Ge, you must save Ye Zi." Pang Bo, hearing that Ye Fan had been targeted, instantly grew anxious, especially since the other party's cultivation level and status far surpassed their side.

"No need to hurry, we'll do this and that."
